A starkly beautiful white shell becomes a stylish contemporary apartment by Berlin-based BRUZKUS BATEK. Stripped down and gallery-like the scene is set for life's dramas through "the interplay of space, materiality, colour and light".
Is there a point in time when owning a home with chevron hardwood floors this breathtaking that you eventually stop staring at them with a stupid grin on your face? Doubt it. Parisian apartment again by REV Architecture.
Step inside the unassuming facade of this 1950s warehouse and you'll find a minimalist open plan home. Hints of the building's industrial past remain but as a shell that contains this super slick modern space. Seamless Corian benches, stainless steel, strip lighting and painted concrete play against a mix of contemporary and mid century furniture. I would, however be more at ease with this house if they would just move the shaving mirror away from the ethanol heater. Ouch! Is it a clue that the owner is hot stuff? Le 205 in Mile-Ex district of Montreal by Atelier Moderno.
I can't get enough of lofts...and this one is a really cool mix of fold and new. Located in Russia (or Latvia?) this 2 story apartment was renovated with ideas of keeping it minimalist and bright, and to show a contrast of eras while preserving the original features. The windows are incredible, and while the kitchen seems dark which would make me crazy, I really like the rest of the open layout. Via The Village.
